  • the intake side variable valve mechanism 71 is stopped, and the intake ports 23a and 23b are sealed by the intake valves 21a and 21b.
  • the exhaust valve 22b controlled by the exhaust side valve mechanism 73 is also closed. Therefore, by opening the exhaust valve 22a by the exhaust side variable valve mechanism 72 at this timing, the combustion chamber 19 that expands the gas in the exhaust port 17 when the piston 14 descends, that is, when the combustion chamber 19 expands. Can be taken in.
  • the resistance at the time of expansion of the combustion chamber 19 can be reduced compared with the case where both the exhaust valves 22a and 22b are closed.
  • the gas taken into the combustion chamber 19 when the piston 14 is lowered while the exhaust valve 22a is opened contains burned gas during normal operation, and its temperature is higher than that of the outside air. is there. Therefore, when the piston 14 is lowered, the exhaust valve 22a is opened, and the gas in the exhaust port 17 is reintroduced into the combustion chamber 19, whereby the temperature drop in the combustion chamber 19 can be suppressed. And by maintaining the temperature in the combustion chamber 19, the combustion efficiency in a cylinder can be raised when it restarts from a stop state.
  • FIG. 7 is a graph showing the relationship between the lift amount of the exhaust valve and the engine speed.
  • the lift amount of the exhaust valve 22a when the cylinder is stopped is preferably determined according to the engine speed. More specifically, the lift amount of the exhaust valve 22a when the cylinder is stopped increases as the engine speed increases. If the exhaust valve 22a is opened when the cylinder is stopped, the cooling loss in which the temperature in the combustion chamber 19 decreases as the lift amount increases, but the pumping loss is reduced by introducing gas into the combustion chamber 19. Therefore, when the engine speed is not high, it is preferable to limit the lift amount of the exhaust valve 22a to some extent to reduce the pumping loss and reduce the cooling loss.
  • the pumping loss increases rapidly as the engine speed increases, in this embodiment, the lift amount of the exhaust valve 22a is increased as the engine speed increases. As a result, the pumping loss of the engine can be reliably reduced even when the engine is rotating at high speed.
  • the exhaust valve 22a is opened using the exhaust side variable valve mechanism 72 when the piston 14 is lowered while the cylinder is stopped in the low load / low rotation operation region. be able to.
  • the exhaust valve 22a is opened and the combustion chamber 19 and the exhaust port 17 are opened. Can be communicated.
  • the pressure drop in the combustion chamber 19 can be suppressed when the piston 14 is lowered.
  • the pumping loss at the time of a cylinder stop can be suppressed.
